Chelsea fans told board STILL keen on signing £50 million winger

Simon Phillips reports that Chelsea aren’t yet done when it comes to Nico Williams.

The 21-year-old has banged in seven goals and grabbed 16 assists in 34 appearances for Athletic Bilbao this season across all fronts and is a player that is attracting some of the games biggest clubs.

It is no secret that Enzo Maresca is looking to add some more quality to his attack now that the transfer window is opened up and is keen to bolster his squad with another winger – to help cove injuries etc.

The Athletic recently claimed that we are ready to push ahead with their interest in the Spain star. Barcelona have been the favourites to land Williams but their own financial problems could prohibit them to do so.

However – if you believe the words of Phillips – we are not done in their chase for Williams this summer – he was quoted on Football.London: “We have also just been told this morning that Chelsea ‘are still there’ for Nico Williams, who is of course a left winger.

:We were also told right after the Olise move failed that we approached Williams and Barcelona to get the conditions of any deal for Williams. So again, none of this makes much sense.

“Sources have said that the Williams to Barcelona move has stalled for now, and a lot like the situation with PSG and Victor Osimhen, CHELSEA are now sensing an opportunity to move in. This is one to watch.

“Worth noting that Williams can also play on the right as well, but is predominately a left winger.”
